Hij heeft zijn passie voor acteren zeker niet verloren vertelt hij:
“I haven’t fallen out of love with it [acting], I still have an agent and still go for auditions. “I don’t see it so much as a career change, I am passionate about both acting and fighting.”

“I’ve been training traditional Japanese jujitsu for nearly five years and hold a shodan black belt. “It’s raw, exciting and unpredictable. “I find it more interesting than boxing although I appreciate the beauty and art in boxing. It also made sense to move onto MMA because of my jujitsu training.”
